Vic Michaelis on Fanoli-Cher, Ponies
“Very Important People” Season 3 is back on Dropout, and Host Vic, played by Vic Michaelis, is back in action trying to create interesting interviews with their guests. In the recent episode titled “Fanoli,” comedian Angela Giarratana takes on the role of the once iconic but now washed-up singer, Fanoli. The episode takes a hilarious turn as Vic’s plans to discuss their favorite singers, Fanoli and Cher, are derailed by the feud between the two musicians.
In a twist of fate, the episode coincidentally aired during the 2026 Cheraissance, adding a timely relevance to the storyline. Michaelis shared in an interview with Variety that the resurgence of Cher in pop culture made the episode even more fitting for the current times.
As Host Vic navigates the chaotic interview with Fanoli, the feud with Cher becomes a central plot point. Despite Vic’s enthusiasm for Cher, Angela’s lack of knowledge about the singer creates a comedic tension that adds to the episode’s humor.
In addition to their role on “Very Important People,” Michaelis also discussed their character Cheryl on Peacock’s spy series “Ponies.” Drawing parallels between Cheryl and Host Vic, Michaelis highlighted the differences in their characters, with Cheryl being portrayed as more competent but constrained by the limitations of her time and environment.
Looking ahead, Michaelis teased Cheryl’s character development in “Ponies,” hinting at a journey of unraveling and rebuilding. While the show may be a spy thriller on the surface, Michaelis sees it as an intimate family drama with room for personal growth and transformation.
Overall, “Very Important People” Season 3 continues to delight audiences with its quirky humor and unpredictable interviews. With Vic Michaelis at the helm, viewers can expect more laughter and surprises as the season unfolds.
